A Little Patience

What does this look like to you?

If you answered a picnic table you're...well, you're right, but it is more than that. It is a small victory. for the last three years at work I've asked for a picnic table outside on the back lawn of our building, so that we can have a nice place to take a break when the weather is good. Three years. Seriously, what's wrong with me?

I started by simply asking for the table and got shot down the first two years. Rookie mistake. But I didn't give up, I changed my tactic. I started asking for things like snuggies with the company logo on them, ridiculous paint colors and a chandelier for the ladies bathroom, designated nap times, a therapy pony, and other slightly insane requests.

When I finally got back around to the picnic table I think I'd worn them down and it must have seemed to them a perfectly reasonable expense in exchange for getting me to stop requesting things like hiring that monkey that rides the dog to deliver the mail to the different departments.

I am a part time licensed massage therapist, and a cleaning lady here in Cache Valley. I also hold down a full time position as office manager at a great local company. Blogging is what I do when I'm not at one of my jobs or hanging out with my extended family or taking care of Molly the wonder dog and the chinchilla twins (tentatively renamed Leopold and Loeb).
I have no real hobbies anymore because I am usually too broke or don't have enough time, but I used to love: bellydance, photography, downhill skiing, playing piano, motorcycles, camping, hiking, travelling, going to concerts, horseback riding, ice skating, snowshoeing, cooking, baking, gardening, and reading.
